delicious bubbly

[her_imperial_radiance]

Elspeth is glad that Milliways likes her, because she likes it. Jacob at her side and a glass of this nice golden stuff in her hand (she's tried the other synthetics; they're nice for an occasional change, but only humans care about dietary variety that much and this one is her favorite) and hubbub from a hundred worlds around her: lovely. A lovely break from work that keeps no one waiting, that doesn't even throw off her sleep cycle because her sleep cycle cares about the sun. (It throws off Jake's, a little, but his is more flexible than hers.)

A human appears out of nowhere, sitting at an empty table for two, very close by. He blinks, then perks up, straightening in his chair with a broad grin further extended by the nasty scars at the corners of his mouth.

He's wearing a pale green shirt, the fabric patterned with thin lines whose shape suggests ocean waves, and nondescript black dress pants over green-and-purple argyle socks. No shoes. His hair is long and curly and greenish; his face is, perhaps, a little familiar.

After a few seconds of cheerfully looking around, he spots Elspeth and Jacob and wiggles his fingers in a cheerful little wave that includes them both.
